Go Min-si is a South Korean actress known for her roles in 'Sweet Home' and 'The Frog' (pic). Photo: Handout Go Min-si, a South Korean actress known for her roles in Sweet Home and The Frog , has denied allegations of school bullying that surfaced online Monday.

The agency added that it had retained legal counsel and begun preparing civil and criminal legal action. School bullying is a highly sensitive issue in South Korea, particularly when it involves public figures. Celebrities accused of such misconduct often face reputational damage, with many seeing their careers derailed if the accusations are found to be true. Allegations were posted on the online forum DC Inside under the title, 'We are victims of school bullying by actor Go.' Although the post did not fully identify the individual, mentioning only the actor's surname and age, it accused the person of bullying, verbal abuse and harassment of students with disabilities during middle school. This is not the first time Go has been at the centre of controversy related to her past. In March 2021, photos emerged of her drinking alcohol while underage. At the time, she issued a public apology on social media, writing, 'I recognise the wrongdoing of my past actions and deeply regret my behaviour.' – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network

'Tastefully Yours' to bring in classic K-drama romance, Tom-and-Jerry dynamics
'Sweet Home,' 'The Frog' star Go Min-si steps into lighter territory with first romantic comedy Genie TV's upcoming drama, "Tastefully Yours," starring veteran Korean actors Go Min-si and Kang Ha-neul is set to channel a playful dynamic reminiscent of Tom and Jerry through the lens of a modern-day romantic comedy. The 10-part series follows Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul), a chaebol scion determined to secure his inheritance by acquiring small restaurants. His strategic spree leads him to cross paths with Mo Yeon-joo (Go Min-si), a fiercely independent chef who runs a one-table restaurant and refuses to be bought out. Go, who gained recognition for her intense roles in projects such as "Sweet Home" and "The Frog," takes a sharp turn into lighter territory with "Tastefully Yours." Despite the tonal shift, she revealed that the production came with its own set of challenges. "To be honest, I chose this project because I wanted to film something fun and comfortable, but there turned out to be a lot more to do than I expected," said Go during a press conference held in Mapo-gu, Seoul, Thursday. "I had to learn how to cook, so I practiced even before filming and learned from the chefs who were on set. The dialect was also an important part, so I persistently asked questions and checked thoroughly as I prepared." The actress credited Kang with helping her find ease on set. 'It took me a long time to adjust during the early stages of filming, but whenever Kang was on the set, the atmosphere completely changed. He helped me feel comfortable when acting, and since he always made me laugh on the set, I realized I'm actually someone who laughs a lot,' she shared. 'Since it was my first romantic comedy, I came to the set with the feeling of going on a date with Kang.' Kang, widely loved for his natural charm and comedic sensibilities, said he leaned into his strengths to elevate the show's humorous tone. 'Since I've never lived as a chaebol in real life, it was a bit difficult. So rather than thinking too much like, 'Wouldn't a chaebol act this way?', I focused on bringing the script's tone to life in an entertaining way.' He added, 'In the early part of the story, I worked on using a condescending tone. I tried to find the right delivery to make it sound more dismissive." "Tastefully Yours," starting May 12, will air every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ENA and will also be available for global audiences via Netflix.
